All 12 seats on the Caddo Parish School Board were up for election on November 4, 2014. Seven of the 12 districts saw contested races in the primary election, and three district races advanced to a general on December 6, 2014. The majority of these races pitted incumbents against single challengers. Incumbent Carl A. Pierson, Sr. (D) faced Margaret A. Brown (D) in District 3, and incumbent Charlotte Crawley (D) faced Susannah Walter Poljak (I) in District 4. Incumbents Larry Ramsey (R) and Dottie H. Bell (D) faced challengers Dock Voorhies (D) and Annetta Garner (D) in Districts 10 and 12, respectively. However, Ramsey was automatically re-elected prior to the election when Voorhies withdrew from the race.

Additionally, the District 7 seat was open as incumbent Lillian Priest (D) did not file to run for re-election. Raymond E. Green (D) and Joy Ellis Walters (D) vied for the seat.

Only Districts 2, 8 and 11 saw more than two candidates on the ballot. In District 2, incumbent Jasmine R. Green (D) faced challengers Jackie Dozier (D) and Barbara Johnson Simpson (D). Green and Simpson advanced to a general election. District 11 incumbent Ginger Armstrong (R) faced Kacee Hargrave Kirschvink (R) and Parker G. Ward (R). Armstrong and Kirschvink advanced to a general election.

District 8 was the largest race in the school district. Denee Locke (R), Rachel Sexton Penwell (R) and Emma Luster Shepard (D) all challenged incumbent Bonita Crawford (R). Crawford and Locke advanced to a general election.

Three of the races had unopposed candidates who were automatically elected as of August 22, 2014. District 1 and 6 incumbents Steve Riall (R) and Mary A. Trammel (D) won re-election without opposition. Newcomer Bonita Douzart (D) ran unopposed for the District 5 seat, which was open as incumbent Curtis Hooks (D) did not file to run for re-election.
